ENTRY AND DEPARTURE OF PERSONS AND THEIR BAGGAGE
In order to facilitate and expedite the clearance of persons entering or departing by air, Contracting States shall
adopt border control regulations appropriate to the air transport environment and shall apply them in such a manner as to
prevent unnecessary delays. In developing procedures aimed at the efficient application of border controls on passengers and crew, Contracting
States shall take into account the application of aviation security, border integrity, narcotics control and immigration control
measures, where appropriate.
Contracting States that use integrated circuit (IC) chips or other optional machine readable technologies for the
representation of personal data, including biometric data, in their travel documents shall make provision whereby the encoded
data may be revealed to the holder of the document upon request. Contracting States shall not extend the validity of their machine readable travel documents.
Note.— Specifications for machine readable travel documents (Doc 9303) do not permit alteration of the expiration date
and other data in the machine readable zone. Recommended Practice.— Contracting States utilizing Automated Border Control (ABC) systems should ensure
that gates are adequately staffed while operational to ensure a smooth passenger flow and respond rapidly to safety and
integrity concerns in the event of a system malfunction.
